All,
Anyone know what this pipe is for? Part of it seems to be missing - I think! Where is is supposed to go, is it a drain from the engine?

Baffled?

Where does the top end go?

Is it connected to the rocker cover? Sometimes people vent them to atmosphere instead of to the throttle body.

Seems to be connected just below the joint of the rocker cover!
